December 2024 Recap

 December 2025 Recap: 

Coffee Milk Tea (Chinese): 10/10. This is one of my favorite drinks. Both the coffee and tea flavors are present, and the sweetness level is probably a 2/5 which is perfect. Even though it contains strong coffee and tea, it doesn't affect sleep at night. 

This is a new food I tried: Egg Bubble Waffle. The waffle itself is not sweet, and the eggs have a few sauces on them which add just a hint of sweetness, making it the perfect blend. The flavor of the sauces actually reminds me a little of a Honduran sauce.  

Here are a few paintings I did during December: 

At the end of the month my family took a vacation to Pigeon Forge, TN. 

We ate at the Old Mill the first evening. The food was good - I had the porkchops and they were cooked well without being dry and hard. They definitely give you a lot of food, so I recommend splitting. 

This was our cabin for the week in the Alpine Mountain Village. 

Looking out from the porch.

View from the balcony. The stay was 10/10 and a great time of refreshing relaxation. 

A shortcut through the woods to the road.

My dad, Lauren, and I climbed up this mountain as a "shortcut" to the town. It definitely was not a shortcut, but a very fun adventure. 😂 100% recommend. :)

Walked down this road and it led to a construction zone.

Look at this unbelievable view.

One evening we attended a dinner show at a Christian Dinner Theatre. 

Saw these signs in the shop. 😅

Saw this place as my mom and I took a walk down the main highway. The people who created this restaurant have a sense of humor. The bull has a fish in its mouth. 😆

Look at that sky.

I don't remember the name of this hotel but isn't it gorgeous? We walked through the grounds.

Reminds me of German style.

We spent a day at Dollywood. This cup reminds me of the blessing we received. A sweet lady gave us 3 free tickets because she didn't need them, as well as a refillable cup. 

If you've never tried Black Rifle Coffee, it is the bomb. Strong coffee without being too sweet. 

Its strength may cause you to feel shaky, so I recommend eating with it. You're definitely able to add more milk to it without it becoming weak. 

Only in Tennessee: 😄

I've never seen more creative buildings than in TN. 

I can never take enough sky/landscape pictures. SO gorgeous. 

And that's a wrap! 

What was your favorite part of December?
